Dialoguing the Beatitudes for Seeing Love as Process
At a recent wisdom dialogue, while we were reflecting on “The greatest wisdom of this time is to work for all children, with love in our processes,” our thoughts turned to the essentiality of seeing love as process – particularly all-inclusive love. Working to see love as process, we turn to seeing Christ as process… for he gives us access to the essence pattern of the process of all-inclusive love entering life, a process path possible for us to enter – as persons, as community, as a people of earth. Feeling the need to deepen our understanding by reflecting on a teaching of Christ, we chose the beatitudes (MT5:1-12), the beatitudes being an intended ongoing upwardly unfolding process that he taught and lived. The following is written with the hope that all will be able to join in and further develop the imaging that unfolded during our dialogues.
Blessed are the poor in spirit, because of them is the kingdom of heaven.
Lose the ego; turn to intent; find your calling; manifest spirit.
Blessed are they who are mourning, for they shall be comforted.
Mourning is out of love/loss of life; comfort is having faith in everlasting life…
– faith in soul returning to the Source of life, love and truth.
– faith in, after one’s passing, the spirit manifested being available forever and to all, available to take into our daily living.
Blessed are the meek, because they shall inherit the earth.
Meek… lose self-as-source. Believe in only one Source; we are not the source.
Holding oneself to take up pursuits in ways that work for all children in the world is humbling, yet essential to our – as community, as a people, as a people of earth – ableness to join in Thy Will everlasting life on earth work. Working for all children calls for a viable and vital living earth. The humbled, the meek shall inherit the earth… the vitalizing living earth work.
Blessed are those who are hungering and thirsting after righteousness, because they shall be satisfied.
Righteousness – virtuousness… Hungering and thirsting for seeing virtue and, through work and role, manifesting the virtue seen. All of creation is embedded with essence virtue by the Creator – life embedded with virtue essential to be manifested in the here and unfolding now… particularly essential/vital/critical at times of era shift. Now is the time of potential: the end of coming from an existence-led perspective is the beginning of potential – seeing life from a virtue led, essence based perspective. Hunger and thirst shall be satisfied by Spirit entering with truth, from above wisdom of intent and intended ways of working of life and love in the here and unfolding now… Spirit entering with wisdom truth of particular embedded essence virtues.
Through this seeing, a transformation begins taking place here… a shifting from a self-centered focus, to “community is the smallest whole” – Where two or more are gathered in my name, so there shall I be.(MT18:20) We begin answering “Yes” to intent/intended ways of working of life and love… ways of enabling and manifesting embedded essence virtues, intentionally ethical life nourishing ways, love in the process advancing humanness ways.
Blessed are the merciful, because they shall receive mercy.
Blessed are the merciful… for they have the courage and the wisdom to speak – through voice and action – intentional truths. Mercy being essential to staying on the beatitudic path; not manmade rules and judgementalness that distract us from remembering virtues and from enabling their unfolding on this earth at this time. Mercy awakens the heart and mind to the possibility of free will choice – of consciously conscientiously ongoingly choosing “Yes.”
Blessed are the pure in heart, because they shall see God.
Pure in heart – choosing love and mercy… choosing Thou Shall loving… all love (loving God, loving our neighbor, loving our enemy) organized by all-inclusive loving – the way Christ loved. Seeing from these eyes, we see God within each and all – essence virtue embedded within each and all, intended to be manifested on this earth at this time of now.
Blessed are the peacemakers, because they shall be called children of God.
Peacemakers… working/living from the all-inclusive compassion of equality and in harmony with the intended ways of living earth. Living human spiritual beings walking the path of Thy Will living fueled by Thou Shall loving… heart yessing Thou Shall vesselness; mind yessing Thy Will instrumentality.
Blessed are they being persecuted because of virtuousness, for of them is the kingdom of heaven.
Ultimately, we may be called to a particular hour, the “final test” of which Christ speaks in the Prayer to the Father, a passion essential (from the intentional perspective of the Source) to the time of now… to initiating and enabling the era shift… calling for a beatitudic Yes (e.g., of the nature of the processes of Mary and Christ) to Thy Will, that for which we may be persecuted by the existence world clinging to its manmade ideologies, rules and judgement.
Blessed are you when they shall reproach you, and persecute you, and shall say every evil word against you, lying, on account of me. Rejoice and be very glad, for the reward of you shall be great in heaven; for they thus persecuted the prophets before you.
A prophet is one receiving seeing/hearing from the Spirit of truth that which is to be shared and lived – shared with the whole of humanity and lived in the here and unfolding now… messages of the end of the present era… messages of the work to be taken on and the virtues to be lived/manifested in the new… messages of the hazards of failure to take up the new. The perspective shift, the metanoia, of the intended unfolding at this time of now. Now is the time of potential, intentionality… a time to work for all children in the world, in ways speaking for living earth, always with all-inclusive love in our process.
Blessed are the communities poor in spirit…
The beatitudes are an ongoing unfolding process, spiraling in upwardly unfolding cycles embracing ever larger wholes… and so we continue on as a community: Blessed are communities poor in spirit, communities mourning, meek communities, communities hungering and thirsting…
